Building a road bridge

[DieselBert]

They are only 3 bridges crossing the last 50 miles of the Trent. I'm 1000% behind bridge building but let's start with some low hanging fruit instead of embarking on an engineering project that doesn't stop at building a ridiculously hard bridge

 

[Keawyeds]

BUILD MORE SHIPS

Connect them up and drive across them?

 

[Squat]

I think they should build a floating bridge.

a very very long boat you mean

I think they should build a floating bridge.

What, across the busiest shipping lanes in the world?

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[weebil64]

a very very long boat you mean

no, a collection of floated platforms with the uprights placed on them and the road platform suspended between the uprights. There's a reason I'm norra engineer.

 

[West_Winger]

Fuck me. Not this thread again!

OP probably thinking if there’s a bridge to Ireland it’ll make it easier for him to claim EU citizenship there.

we should build a tunnel under the bridge for the boats to get past it

They should just put a zipline up from The Shard to the Arc de Triomphe.

all those migrants wont need dingy's at least. just walk over.

Windmills on top to generate power

Good idea this

We could build them out of the surplus egg boxes now that the northeast is committed to distributing 270m eggs to the poor each year. That's 45m egg boxes going spare

Ner.Just loads of ships.Build a few more lanes.

You disgust me!
Does no-one think of the clucking hens?
It ain't easy being a feathered friend ya knaars.

 

[scraff]

Just when you thought the OP couldn't come up with anything more f***ing idiotic.

It's an act man.

 

[Lankester Merrin]

We really have reached the peak of stupid haven't we?

We turned our backs on experts in order to live in our own fantasy world of bunting and spitfires.

This is what is left

Nah. Put wings on the boats so they can fly across.

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

From Britain to NI and from Britain to France. Why has this never been done ? Would surely make a lot of sense for trade and make it much easier and cost effective to drive to the continent if there was a small toll instead of the ferry hassle.

Channel Tunnel , for one of them and why would the Irish want a bridge to Britain on there

 

[Scotty]

Surely it was have been easier to build a bridge or allowed cars to use the tunnel

Channel - build a bridge over one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, in a location where the weather is hugely inconsistent - or build a tunnel

GB-NI - build something over the trench where we happened to dump our excess WW2 munitions - that sounds like a great idea....not
